Imagine I am the color pink, but society tells me I am only allowed to like the color blue because that is what is considered “normal.” Everyone insists that blue is the right choice for me, even though it doesn’t make me happy. Liking blue doesn’t feel natural or true to who I am. Just because something is labeled as “normal” doesn’t mean it works for everyone. In the same way, forcing people to love someone they aren’t naturally drawn to is unfair. People should be allowed to love who truly makes them happy, which is why gay marriage is okay.

Marriage is made to lead to procreation of life and you can't do that as a gay couple the proper way. Normalizing this would lead to way more gay marriages which would ultimately lead to less procreation. Also in my opinion the way gay couples have sexual intercourse is often gross.

If everybody's gay then there is no children also God made us in his image man and woman who are we to say that's not how it should be. Satan has already been defeated and in his little time left he is trying to kill more of Gods children think about it abortion has already killed 1/3 of Gen Z. If everybody is happy being gay than in 300 years or less there is no one to be happy.

There isn't anything wrong about a man loving a man or a woman loving a woman, that is just who they are and you can't force someone to change so why care so much?
To me it is just another person, nothing different about them, and having a preference in dating shouldn't be a deal breaker for friendship, jobs, etc.

 @7FLGXJN from Vermont  agreed…5mos5MO

Imagine that some ancient cults decided that heterosexuality was immoral. That might be a problem for straight people. I wonder how well they'd manage.

 @B9T45RG from Indiana  agreed…5mos5MO

Regulations on love shouldn’t ever exist. It’s odd to claim that enjoying the presence of a specific person is wrong simply because they’re not a certain type of person.

 @B9T2K8WProgressive from North Carolina  agreed…5mos5MO

I agree, it is a personal preference. People should be able to express how they feel without the government restricting them.

 @B9S7HRFDemocrat from Georgia  agreed…5mos5MO

I agree with this comment. People are allowed to love whoever or whatever they're allowed to love, as long as it isn't pedophilia.

 @B9T7S9R from Illinois  disagreed…5mos5MO

But at the same time, gay marriage can result in a decrease in population. You can say that you are only "allowed to like the color blue." If that's the way you want to put it, fine. But the truth is, you can like anything or anyone or any color. That doesn't mean that since you like the way a doll or an animal looks, that means you are able to marry it. Gay marriage should never be allowed, and I rest my case.

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”
